Don’t judge that which you don’t understand.Dudes rap about what they know you can’t blame them, this is real life homie not a DVD.

STOP selling POISON to Blacks in the name of bringing up Blacks to greater status – I consider that reasoning to be blasphemous to us African Americans striving to lead lives our children will honor and respect us for.

STOP being the person that literally SELLS our lives away…slaves to a POISON.

STOP being IGNORANT about OUR lives.
STOP being IGNORANT in the name of the HOOD!

Wake up it’s a business no one cares who gets their ass violated for possesion as long as the records sell … it’s money, greed is good teach the children.

Fri, 16 Jun 2006 03:14:15 +0000http://www.xxlmag.com/?p=2183#comment-38289GOOD TOPIC! Why should these young dudes want to go to college when the FUCKIN SNOWMAN just bought ten more iced out chains and is able to pay some big booty broad to be his human money clip. They claim to be happy to be out of a life of crime, but glorify it and force feed it to the masses. These kids see money, cars, blunts, and bitches, not prison food, collect calls denied, and constant ass rape.The real Freeway Rick Ross, Rich Porters, and the like were the real coke/crack kingpins. There is no money like that anymore, and if you get close to that status the feds shut you down and give you life and a day. Ask Big Meech and the BMF, them dudes were just too flamboyant and that shit caught up.Rappers are fucking these kids heads up and inspiring them to the pen.

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 17:53:27 +0000http://www.xxlmag.com/?p=2183#comment-35692it’s bigger than whut you think, music is reactionary, therefore the ignorance that being feed came from ignorance, it’s impossible for someone that speaks knowledge to people and those people translate that to ignorance…they can ignore whut’s being taught, but if they listen to whut’s being fed, repeatedly, then eventually they represent it…it’s impossible to have an opposite effect…

same way that it’s impossible to teach ignorance and the people listening translate that to righteousness…

it really have nothing to with race, if you’re miseducated then you’re miseducated…so white people that feed into that poison is just as much disillusioned as the rest that feeds into that poison…

another issue with that, however, is that there’s never a CONCERN when that poison is being marketed into the inner-city streets, the ghettos, even the trailer homes, or any low-incomed urbanized area

but once it reaches the SUBURBS then it’s a PROBLEM…that’s when congress gets involved and new restrictions that are racists in manner are implemented

She would show dudes her titties for $5 just so she could go to her dealer and get a fix. She would show her tits to anyone with $5 and she used to not look half bad. She let a couple of niggas hit that shit for $50 bucks each. She was one fucked up Jewish girl, that’s fo’ sho’!

Mon, 12 Jun 2006 14:24:17 +0000http://www.xxlmag.com/?p=2183#comment-35631This is the first time I’ve read your column and on this topic you are absolutely right. I don’t purchase or actively listen to this particular kind of rap but I’ve heard some of this shit. My biggest question was “who still sells crack”? All the big crack dudes I knew from the hood are either working 9-5′s or in the pen. Only dudes I still see selling crack in the hood is 15 and 16 yr old kids. You’d be hard-pressed to see crack heads nowadays. Shit when I wanted some amusement I would drive thru the hood looking for c-heads walking like extras from Dawn of the Dead, but no such luck….I guess they are hiding in rabbit holes like Saddam. All jokes aside, death to “crack music”. We need more positive influences for our youth.

I see ur point, 1st shit still the same in the hood, we just got more rehab places that let u stay for free… n we have way to many cops trying to put u on jail, 2nd I have to be the one to admit that some rappers take to the left field w the lyrics the only thing get accomplish other than sale records is planting a bad seed in our junior woppers minds… 2 things is going to happens, either this kid will absorb the positive or they will think their r down by following the negative….time will tell… but even though i saw many get slauther sometimes even by the own boyz n i was a victim of this mentality back home i want better for my son… n if that means supervise the music that he listen too, so be it… i will plant my seed right n the rest later on in life is up to him….yo we need to make a better job leading n mentoring our people n there is no doubt about it.

Sun, 11 Jun 2006 17:45:19 +0000http://www.xxlmag.com/?p=2183#comment-35328here’s the problem with just saying “fuck it” it just music is for one, alot of the young listeners believe that shit and look at these rappers as role models and aspire to be “street” like them

also whether you realize it or not, music, if listened repeatedly does leak into your subconscious and you tend to become the personality of whut the music that’s been feeding you…you do become a product of whut you listen to

if alot of positivity is fed into the heads of the listeners, i promise you that their reactions would be of a positive nature…

if political and militant music is fed into the minds of the listeners, then their reactions would eventually respond to that…

no different to anything you listen to…so if you feed poison, the people that gravitate to it would consume it and become that poison eventually….
